Your Guiding Light Through The Progressive Fog

There has been another shooting in this country, and this time on live TV. I am sad to say it, but once again these poor innocent people’s deaths, their families pain and suffering, are being exploited to advance the progressive ideology. Once again we see President Obama, saying that this happens too often. Gun grabbers once again are trying to generate enough uproar that people act out of fear, instead of intelligence, and willingly give up their God given rights.

I have written at length, multiple times about the illogical conclusion that more gun control equates to lower crime/murder rates. I am not going to rehash those points again… you know, I say that, but I know that some progressive Zealot is going to want to do battle defending their time proven failure of an ideology. Instead I would like to frame the argument in a different light.

Recently, to much fanfare, the Supreme Court ruled that States do not have the authority to ban gay marriage. This ruling was cheered throughout the land. President Obama lit up the White House with Rainbow colored lights to make it look like the Gay Pride flag.

So the courts have ruled that Gay Marriage is a right protected under the United States Constitution. What would happen, if Dallas decided to regulate gay marriages? Require them to register where they live? What if Nashville decided that gay couples had to pay higher taxes than non gay couples?Imagine if the Federal Government decided to pass a law restricting Gay couples rights, maybe denying them tax breaks other married couples receive? Is there any rational thought process that leads to doubt that there would be national outrage over this clear violation of their God given rights?

Of course not, and they would be right to cry out against these clear injustices.

The Supreme Court has recently ruled that Obamacare subsidies are legal, rewriting the rules of the English language to come to that conclusion. WE have heard the President, and countless Democrats demand that all challenges to Obamacare be dropped, as the Supreme Court has now clearly ruled that it is Constitutional.

So there would be national outrage if individual cities, or the Federal government choose to ignore the Supreme Court’s ruling on Gay Marriage. President Obama and many Democrats have demanded that all attacks on Obamacare be stopped, as the Supreme Court has ruled it is Constitutional. Why then does President Obama and the rest of the progressive movement choose to ignore Supreme Court rulings upholding the Second Amendment, and striking down gun control laws?

The United States Supreme Court rules continually in favor of the Second Amendment as being a protection of an individual’s right to own and bear arms. Yet for some reason, progressives like to keep trying to pass new gun bans, new restrictions, despite the fact that the court has struck them down countless times. The Heller Case clearly defends the individual right to own and bear arms, and struck down the DC gun ban. Yet, people like Diane Feinstein continue to push for new regulations restricting this right.

My question is why is it that according to progressive’s it is okay to violate the Constitution and ignore Supreme Court rulings when it comes to the Second Amendment, but not when it comes to say Obamacare? Why is a Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare the final salvo in the fight, the definitive end to any challenges to the law, but Supreme Court Rulings that uphold the Second Amendment are to be completely ignored?

In the case of Gay Marriage, no where in the Federal Constitution is the issue of marriage addressed. Not one time does the Constitution mention marriage, or give any power to regulate it to the Federal Government. The Supreme Court struck down Gay Marriage bans because they violate the 14th Amendment which states:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws

No where in this Amendment are the words Gay, Homosexual, Heterosexual, or Marriage stated. The court still ruled that 14th Amendment protects Gay Marriage because it protects equal protection of the law. That ruling struck down gay marriage bans.

The right to own and Bear Arms can be found in the Bill of Rights, in the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. It reads:

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

I will stress again, for all you new comers, the Second Amendment has what is called a prefatory clause, which is used as a form of justification for law. The first half of the Second Amendment “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state”, in no way limits the the right protected by the Amendment. It is simply stating one reason why the right to own and bear arms shall not be infringed. This has been upheld by the Supreme Court, and is a staple in 18th century law.

This Amendment clearly states that we have the right to own and carry guns. This has been upheld many times by the Supreme Court, most recently in the Heller Case striking down the DC gun ban.

The Obamacare case was decided base on the Supreme Courts interpretation of intent. There was no Constitutional authority cited, they completely rewrote the law. The law intended to make it so that only states that set up state run exchanges would be allowed to receive subsidies. This was intended to force Republican governors to accept Obamacare. Jonathan Grubber all but spelled that out when he was pushing for Obamacare.

So of the three which one was made on the strongest footing? Heller defending the individual right to own and bear arms? The Gay Marriage Ruling? or the Obamacare ruling?

Needless to say, progressive Hypocrisy is well highlighted here. It is funny that the decision most passionately defended by the progressive is the one made with the least amount of legal creditably.

You cannot decry limitations/restriction on Gay Marriage, and support further gun control efforts. The Supreme Court has ruled on both of these, ensuring that they are in fact individual rights protected by the Constitution.

I have tried really hard to find a polite way to breech this subject; however it defies the capabilities of this admittedly flawed man to do so. Planned Parenthood is a despicable organization founded by wicked people, and has proved itself unworthy of Federal Funding. That is the only logical conclusion one can draw when they take into account the facts surrounding the organization.
Now of course the bigots will claim that I am sexists, that I am waging a war on women. They are free to do so, and to be honest I do not care what these small minded Neanderthals think of me. The facts speak for themselves. I will lay out for you the case for defunding Planned Parenthood, using, heaven forbid, facts, and at the end allow you to make your own decision.
Before I go any further, I would like to address the preconceived notions of all the progressives out there. I am not trying to defund healthcare to women, I am not trying to outlaw abortion, I am not trying to overturn Roe V. Wade. This is not an attempt to push women back into the 60’s, and ban all birth control. I am not even trying to shut down Planned Parenthood. What I am pushing for is the reallocation of all federal funding from Planned Parenthood to other local community clinics. I will repeat I am not trying to defund woman’s healthcare, just stripping federal funding to Planned Parenthood. Any attempt to classify it as a war on women only serves as fuel to the fire, thus proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that the accuser is not interested in the healthcare of women, but rather praying on their fears. I have no time for such small minded bigots, and you can rest assured I will not be bothered with your ignorant comments.
Now for those willing to have a legitimate discussion about Planned Parenthood, a brief examination of the facts should be more than enough to make a case for defunding the organization. I will make this case on both the grounds of moral indecency as well as redundancy.
The primary argument made by Planned Parenthood supporters is that women need the services provided by the organization. Defunding Planned Parenthood would only serve to hinder women’s reproductive health. This argument is predicated on an assumption that Planned Parenthood is the only organization that offers these services. This is simply just not the case.
There are 9,000 FREE community clinics funded by the federal government that offer free healthcare services to women. There are only 700 Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide. The only difference between one of these community clinics and Planned Parenthood, is that Planned Parenthood offers abortion, and the community clinics do not. It should be blatantly obvious that Planned Parenthood is not the integral cog in the healthcare machine that Democrats continue to portray it as.
Progressives like to claim that by removing Federal Funding from Planned Parenthood, conservatives are trying to deny women access to vital healthcare services such as mammograms. Sadly that is not the case. Planned Parenthood does not perform mammograms; instead they refer individuals to qualified clinics that do provide mammograms. Most likely they are referred to the clinics mentioned above.
So Planned Parenthood does not provided vital services to women, they are not a critical piece in providing medical services to women, why then should they continue to receive federal funding? Why do Democrats push so hard to keep funding it? If the debate is about women’s healthcare, shifting funding from Planned Parenthood to other more qualified organizations should not be a big deal. Why are progressives like Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren so vehemently opposed to defunding them? A quick trip over to our friends at Open Secrets.org the answer becomes obvious. In 2014 Planned Parenthood donated $404,907 to various Democrat campaigns. In 2012 they donated $560,385 dollars to various Democrat campaigns. Here is a link to the break down if you are interested, http://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/pacgot.php?cmte=C00314617&cycle=2014.
Suddenly this is looking less like it is about protecting women, and more like ensuring that Democrats have a reliable revenue stream (funded by the tax payers), and a controversial issue that they can threaten women with.
With the need for Planned Parenthood in serious doubt I would like to discuss the outrageous history of this bigoted organization. Planned Parenthood has a history that would disqualify any other organization from, not just receiving federal funding, but from existing in a civilized society.
Planned Parenthood was founded by a progressive by the name of Margret Sanger. Margret Sanger is heralded by many progressives, for her forward thinking and contribution to society. Sadly, they have white washed the history books to cover up the wickedness that dwelled within her heart.
When I say the word Eugenics, everyone instantly thinks of Adolf Hitler, rightly so. When you consider that he is responsible for quotes such as;

“We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”

“Today eugenics is suggested by the most diverse minds as the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political and social problems”
“[We should] apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring.”
Of course, I should point out that Adolf Hitler did not say a single one of those things, all of these quotes are from Margret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood. I find it odd, that progressives, the people who supposedly want to help minorities are so intent on supporting an organization whose founder stated so boldly, “We want to exterminate the Negro population”.
The plain and simple fact is that Planned Parenthood was not founded to help women, it was, and continues to act as a eugenics project. In 2012 there were 24,758 African Americans born in New York City, that same year 31,328 African American babies were aborted. That amounts for 42.4% of the abortions in the city. (here is the article http://cnsnews.com/news/article/michael-w-chapman/nyc-more-black-babies-killed-abortion-born).

Pretending that Planned Parenthood is anything more than another example of institutionalized progressive racism is akin to turning a blind eye to the KKK. If Planned Parenthood stopped funding the Democrat Party tonight, we would not see the morning sun before they moved to defund fund it, and place the blame for its existence on greedy bigoted Republicans.
Here is the latest video showing the vial acts that the Planned Parenthood is currently involved in.

So please tell me, how is it that you can stand by such a bigoted organization, that clearly represents institutionalized racism, is clearly violating federal law, and offers no services (except for abortion) not offered for free by clinics in the United States. I the only reason that I can come up with is that you are an ignorant bigot.

Progressive cover up their bigotry by claiming that they are standing up for women, “yeah, she was a racists, yea she wanted to wipe out African Americans, but she wanted to help women”. That is akin to justifying the Holocaust because Hitler was trying to help the entire German Population… wait that is how he justified it.

I am so tired of progressive getting a pass on every one of their racists, sexists, or bigoted acts. These people are monsters. Republicans get blamed for shootings because of the Confederate Flag, but Democrats never have to answer for the crimes of Planned Parenthood. No they get a pass on that. Well I am not standing silent. It is time to cut off Planned Parenthood from federal funding. It is time to stop forcing good, kind hearted Americans to pay for the malicious dreams of a bigoted monster. It is time to send those funds instead to entities that will actually focus on women’s health, rather than just being an abortion mill.

Yes, I know, “oh they can’t use federal funds to fund abortions”. That is an incredibly poor argument. Imagine you want to go see a movie, you have 5 dollars. You want to get a ticket, and pop corn. A ticket is 5 dollars, thus ruling out buying pop corn. You come to me and ask to borrow money so you can go see the movie. I agree to give you five dollars, but tell you “under no circumstance are you to use this money to buy pop corn.” You go to the movie theater, you use the 5 dollars I gave you to buy a ticket, then you use your five dollars to buy your popcorn. I effectively just funded your buying pop corn. That is how federal funding is used. The despicable acts of Planned Parenthood are made possible, because they have a never ending supply of funds coming from the Federal Government.
It is time to send that money to people who will use it for the betterment of mankind. There is no justification for federal funding to go to Planned Parenthood. It is a racists organization, founded by a wicked woman, and run by soulless money hungry pigs.
End of story. Stand against them, or be counted with them.
